put shape at intersections on rectangular grid in Illustrator

Question

I have got my rectangular grid in Adobe Illustrator CS3 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3:

How do I make it so that it puts a shape/dot/object on the intersections, where the lines meet each other?

You need enable the Snap Option, and Smart Guides.

In your case, Snap to Point is the case (View > Snap to Point) . And the Smart Guides (View > Smart Guides)

	I was preparing my answer with screen shots and @ueberkim answered quick and brief, good work, it should work if it doesn't there's something wrong with you software, try deleting Illustrator preferences file(google that) to reset the software to its defaults setting. Good Luck ! – Flavius Frantz Feb 14 '12 at 13:14
